Excellent. We look forward to seeing you.
I fancy doing the National Rally again one year. I did it on my Morini 350 I think it was in 1992, the finish was at Donnington Park. I did the Special Gold that year, my first attempt, but I was hopeless on the 'special stage' where you had to do a set average speed around the track with speedo and rev counter covered up. My speed to achieve was about 32mph from memory. I was miles out! :thumby:
 
Went for a rideout with Simon tuther day
I have put these routes up for anyone with a GPX acceptable GPS
Friday routes have a road up side of the 2 of the 3 dams that is closed at weekend
Hope they work.
they were done on Basecamp
I can do a KLM copy if yer need um
:thumby: :thumby:

I shall be using the same panniers on the R80 as on the x Country. That is the joy of soft luggage, you only need one set and use it on anything/everything. I have the dedicated tank bag for the x Country, they are not very big but can carry useful bits you want access to en route. Like flapjacks or biltong to eat as you ride.....
 
Are x challenges (watercooled) allowed at the airhead meet��
 
Hopefully try and get to this, been a long time for a catch up Mick:beer:

Probably more accurate right enough Richard. Certainly at the point at which I decided to change the name!

Thanks Mick... what do I do with them? I clicked on the Friday one, but my confuser wants to go to the Microsoft store to find something to open it with... I haven't got any further! I can see them billing me for some programme or other.

You might find it a bit uncomfortable. The routes are tarmac, not rough tracks.... but I bet Mick could point you in the right direction for one or two. It is supposed to be an airhead do mind.... but those who gatecrash and buy beer will be welcome! :p
 
Not to worry then, have a good time all��
